Jesus Dies on the Cross^(A)

^45 (B)Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land.

⁴⁶ And about the ninth hour ^(A)Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, ^(B)“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

⁴⁷ Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!”

⁴⁸ Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, ^(A)filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

⁴⁹ The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”

⁵⁰ And Jesus ^(A)cried out again with a loud voice, and ^(B)yielded up His spirit.
